October 2010 ACT Reading Thread

<p>^Yeah the answer to that was Clementine phots.</p>

<p>Which is what I said on page 16.</p>

<p>We are debating that #1 was “Which of the following did Professor B see first to convince her about Stuarts studies? (or something along that line)” rather than the chronological thing.</p>

<p>There was no question like the former. It was definitely the general chronological thing. It asked, “generally, which came first in the passage?” or smtg like that. I swear on my mom.</p>

<p>Does anybody know the names of the other passages?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It said the clementine mission happened in 1994, Stuart died in 1960, so that is impossible for it to be first.</p>

<p>Anyone agree with:</p>

<p>loosely chronilogical</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>guy was hiding his enthusiasm, NOT negotiation because the paragraph clearly says the guy reminded him of those people who stand back to act like they aren’t interested but he could see right through it and he felt the guy pleading when he raised the price from $100 to $125</p>

<p>and </p>

<p>winter bloomers. passage stated that green house heating allowed them to bloom throughout the winter… if they were hardy they wouldn’t have to be placed in greenhouses during the winter to survive(?)</p>

<p>The consensus, if I remember correctly, was hardy shrubs.</p>

<p>Idk about the neogitation question, most people say it is negotiation but im not sure</p>

<p>and yeah, it was loosely chronological.</p>

<p>

If they were so hardy, why would the Romans have to construct greenhouses with special heat sources for the roses?</p>

<p>Meh, I don’t think its winter bloomers anymore though. I guess that implies that they only bloom in the winter.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That was not the wording of the question. If it was, the answer would be “magazine published”, fyi. So if that’s the case, we’re all wrong.</p>

<p>^they had to construct those because they were running out of roses. So they made the greenhouse to make their own ROSES, not WINTER BLOOMERS.</p>

<p>^dare leave that question since freerhyme or someone else keeps arguing about it. just wait till results come back.</p>

<p>I agree with daretorun. In fact, if that really were the wording of the answer choice about the magazine, at least one us would have picked up on it.</p>

<p>What did people say for #1, junk and other ppl will pay lots of money for it or an object can link people back to the past?</p>

<p>^yep. I think…</p>

<p>^? He asked you to pick and you said “yep” lol</p>

<p>I said it could link people back to the past because that is what the narrator explained.</p>

<p>^lol sorry. I didn’t his thing fully. I just read the “an object can link people back to the past” part and agreed.</p>

<p>Okay, well, hopefully I didn’t miss to many… I know the winter bloomers one is wrong, ugh. I don’t know what winter bloomer means though. Does that mean it only blooms in the winter or it blooms during the winter?</p>

<p>But, still debating negotiation versus hiding enthusiasm (which was directly stated in the passage). But a lot of people are going for negotiation, but I dunno now.</p>

<p>Can some1 retrieve that passage? I don’t remember but i realllly want to knoww. I suck with using google.</p>

<p>I think I picked the answer that mentioned “the narrator saw through the buyers enthusiasm which he was trying to hide”</p>

<p>It was in the passage… but what was the question even asking again?</p>

<p>Hmmm, the buyer did not seem enthusiastic, although I can see where you are getting that from. I think enthusiastic is too strong of a conclusion.</p>

<p>FOUND IT!</p>

<p>wait dam, I thought I did but it brought me to this thread…lol</p>

<p>Enthusiastic? He was SO enthusiastic… he was “trying to hide his grin,” etc.</p>

<p>Another answer: ignorance was an answer in that passage.</p>
